Many answers to this question. Personally, I like regular G before and during a workout. I don't really like any calorie-free sweeteners (purely taste preference) and I'm pretty thin, so I need the calories.

I recommend G2 for people who don't exercise that intensely and/or who are looking to shed a few pounds (and can't really afford any extra calories). The products are identical, with G2 having half the Calories of G.

Neither one works that well as a recovery drink, however, since they don't have any protein. But sorts drinks are better than nothing after a workout since they can at least replace electrolytes, water, and carbohydrate.

While G2 does have less calories than regular Gatorade, both have less electrolytes than Sustain Sport by Melaleuca. Sustain Sport has 4 electrolytes with only 30 calories per 16oz serving and three flavor choices, Berry, Orange and Lemon.

Only Sustain Sport packs 4 electrolytes (twice as many as Gatorade® Thirst Quencher Original Orange) into each serving to give your body what it needs most. This proprietary complex of calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium rejuvenates in four ways:

Great information here. I appreciate all that you have shared. I tend to down a Gatorade or 2 a day. Usually to hydrate and replace electrolytes when I am busy doing things that exert energy before a ride at evening time.

My aunt drinks something that is a recovery drink. I want to check and see what it is.

The Great Outdoors are Great, because they are much larger than we could ever imagine.

Im not sure if anyone is interested by to address issues and problems like this, we are working on a biosensor that will help you track your hydration levels in real-time, but importantly it will tell you what to drink - electrolytes (or deeper like primarily sodium and potassium), carbohydrates,and water.
